What is the significance of World Malaria Day?
April 25th is a day of unified commemoration of the global effort to provide effective control of malaria around the world. World Malaria Day represents a chance for all of us to make a difference. Whether you are a government, a company, a charity or an individual, you can roll back malaria and help generate broad gains in multiple areas of health and human development. Reducing the impact of malaria would significantly propel efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, agreed by every United Nations member state. These include not only the goal of combating the disease itself, but also goals related to women’s and children’s rights and health, access to education and the reduction of extreme poverty .
